Very interesting, Olivet.
I remember reading about Bob Jones's prophecy of Bush before the election was called. My stepmother said he had come down to some churches in Florida and I think those were African-American churches ( not sure if I remember that right ) and they in turn voted for Bush. This was in 2000. I remember reading his prophecy before I moved off to college in Georgia. I didn't vote because I was out of state but I knew Bush was going to win regardless. I just knew. Then later, I heard some other pastors who had confirmations by the Lord about Bush BEFORE he even thought about running for the presidency. Just something to think about. Some people don't believe in prophecy anymore but to me, I just listen and watch and still go do things everyday. Sometimes I go... hmmm I don't know about that. And other times, I go- well that is interesting- is that genuine? Just pray about it and watch. Sometimes we just need to keep things in mind as it may not happen but it has a purpose to make us a bit more alert and not be spiritually lazy.
I do think we should be prepared and praying for what the Lord wants us to do. A little here and a little there.
Gram has been fussing about the price of vegetables for some time. I called her on it and told her to add more veggie plants! Finally - she did and said it was my responsibility now to take care of them. So, I'm learning a bit how to garden.

The tomato plants she bought are now beginning to show the green tomatoes becoming red.

Still waiting on the zucchini, cucumber, and the green peppers to catch up! She recently bought some strawberry plants (not vines) oooo yeah! We can freeze them for later.
I do think water would be an issue in the future. It already is a huge issue in other countries. James Robertson has a ministry of building wells for villages in South America and in Africa.
